Oh not this again. If you prefer vim or sublime2 as a matter of course you are not even remotely within the target audience of Coda - so I suspect this is just another invitation to yet another round of "I'm a badass and you're all pansies". I apologize if this wasn't your intention but it certainly comes across as such.
But since you asked, I need an editor with good syntax highlighting and very good SFTP support. I practically don't care about anything else. Code completion, in-editor documentation, refactoring tools - all that doesn't matter to me. I don't care if Coda is considered "fancy", it does those two basic things for me and it does them well. It does them better than skEdit or anything else that I used before. vim, sublime, or most other "hardcore" editors don't or do them poorly or do them only with badly bolted-on plugins.
I believe this is true for many programmers (maybe not the most vocal ones though), they want something done and they don't really care if the software that does it is publicly ridiculed as a children's toy. The easiest way to score points with a certain kind of crowd is to publicly proclaim "vim all the way baby" and then privately open a Coda window to get some work done.
